The dynamics of the locker-room were the best part about sports reporting. Seeing the interactions. Getting to sit and talk to one while another nearby observed and soaked it all in and then chime in with something organic. All of that in the pandemic has made things very different. Stories can't be as good because they're all either based just one some words or opinion - there's no colour to add.
It's really an unfortunate byproduct because you know there's so much more happening behind the scenes.
